Mallee scholarship

Thinking of studying medicine? Would $8,000 each year help?

The Mallee Division of General Practice scholarship aims to encourage students from the Mallee region to pursue a career in medicine. It's awarded to the Year 12 student with the highest academic achievement. But it also takes into account financial or other forms of disadvantage.
